France has seen a growing phenomenon around manga, particularly in the rise of café-mangas—dedicated spaces where people can enjoy both coffee and their favorite comic strips. Ben Kordova, the manager of one such establishment in Paris, highlights that France is the second-largest consumer of manga in the world. These cafés attract a diverse audience, with visitors of all ages, including adults, immersing themselves in the vibrant world of Japanese comics. This unique blend of culture and relaxation has transformed manga cafés into popular social hubs across the country.
